First parts on the Mazak QTU-200MSY
My new Mazak QTU-200MSY is now nearly fully tooled and ready to make parts. The ATS bar feeder installation is now functional, though I’m waiting for a correctly fitting spindle liner. In this photo, I’m using the tool eye to touch off (find tool offsets) for a Becker CCMT polycrystalline diamond insert.
Here’s the very first part (other than test cuts during installation) that I’ve made, a JoWo #6 nib housing. This part was turned from a Mazatrol program, below.

Four JoWo #6 Feeds and Housings
These four JoWo #6 feeds and housings are probably the final parts I’ll make on my little Roland 4-axis mill. I’m transferring all my effort going forward to making these parts on the Mazak QTU-200MSY. Once that transfer is done, I’ll be able to offer parts in volume to pen makers worldwide.
Factory Space Rented
I am excited to announce that I’ve found and rented a space in Carrollton, TX for Flexible Nib Factory LLC. The first machine will arrive at the end of January and the second in mid-February. I hope to have my first flexible nibs for beta testers shortly thereafter.
